The greatest "greatest physicist poll" poll.
Which is your favorite.
Which is your favorite.
The greatest greatest physicist poll poll.
In summary, the greatest physicist of all time is a highly debated topic with top contenders including Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, and Stephen Hawking. The determination of the greatest physicist is likely based on popular vote or expert opinions with varying criteria and methodology. Many of the greatest physicists excelled in multiple areas, and the perception of the greatest physicist may change over time with new discoveries and perspectives. While there are not many well-known female physicists, notable contributions have been made by Marie Curie and Lise Meitner.

The fourth one - no contest. :rofl:
Any "greatest physicist poll" that includes Hedy Lamar has to be #1. (At least she did make a significant scientific contribution to the world.)
